First of all you said "now they all got polio."
They didn't all get polio. The live polio vaccine is considered very effective at preventing polio, but it does cause some people to get it (or, it wasn't effective enough and people got polio during a polio epidemic despite being vaccinated.)

In either case, live polio vaccine hasn't been used in the developed countries since before 1980. Maybe big pharma sells off inferior drugs in the 3rd world. Or maybe the situation in the Sudan was so dire that it made sense to use what they had. We don't know how many cases they would have had without the vaccine, but the available evidence suggests it would have been more.




We still use several live vaccines in the USA
